DEAR SIR:
Yours of 2Sth inst came duly
to hand, and in reply would say that take
pleasure in recommending tho Albion No. 10
Cultivator to my neighbors, for 1 deem it
the best tool in corn and on fallow that
ever used. l have six different kinds of
cultivators but none of them are equal to
this. l ain satisfied that the use of it has
added materially to my corn crop for the
past two years. l think it superior to the
Floating Spring Harrow from the fact
that the depth of work can be adjusted for
hard or soft ground.
Yours Respectfully,
u. Cook.

Paw Paw, MICH, March Both, 1887.
Last June purchased one of the "No. 10
Albion" Spring-tooth Harrows and put it at
work in corn planted on sod. The field was
full of June grass and the sod was SO tough
that cultivators tore it up, but the "No. 10
Albion" cut it fine and cleared the field in
the most satisfactory manner. used it also
on field of sod plowed for beans. 1 first
rolled the ground and then fitted IL perfectly.
found it a splendid tool in beans, and pre-
pared the ground for loteat UittOut pLOloing.
1t is a perfect Harrow, Gang Plow and Guilt
vator combined.

~ The Delaware Herald strikes the Fora
ker administration square from the shoulder
as follows:
When Governor Foraker received the nom
ination for Governor last week and was call
ed upon for an acceptance speech, he found
that Mr.. PowelPs charges against his admin
istration, the week before, gave him some
thing more to talk about than skin canes and
rebel flags He, in nettled manner, at
tempted to defend his administration. But
here are facts that. the Governor could not,
or, at least, did not, explain away:
When Governor Hoadly assumed control
of the State government the State debt was
"a, 522,515, of which there was paid during
the two years of Democratic control $780,
285.81, leaving debt at the opening of Gov.
Foraker's administration of $3,720, ,229. So
Governor Hoadly did not borrow any money
during his term, the receipts being amply
sufficient to pay the current expenses except
deficiency caused wholly by the extraordi-
nary expenses, such as the Cincinnati riot
and the Hooking Valley labor strike. Under
the administration of Foraker the general
fund in the treasury has been exhausted,
$4,000 has been borrowed and the July
settlement largely anticipated. Of the fund
ed Indebtedness of the State, provided by the
sinking fund, there has been paid about
$75O,OOO, leaving present indebtedness in
round numbers of $3.50, ,000-an increase of
$3.50, 900 since the present Republican admin
istration began. No wonder the Governor
was nettled, and spoke as they say he did, as
If he was mad about something.

In Henry county the Republicans howl be-
cause Irishmen are nominated for Represen-
tative, Auditor, Clerk of the court, Probate
Judge and Recorder. In Defiance county
they will rave because an Irishman was not
nominated for Treasurer. They have moth
ing to say against Dennis Donavin, James
Donavin, Mike Donnelly, Dan. Hartnett and
Tom Durbin, except that they are Irishmen,
and at the same time they are iudustriously
parading Blaine about to catch the votes of
men whom they ridicule and abuse.-Defance

cB- One of the most indignant men in
Ohio Just now is Colonel Andy Stevenson
who represented Richland county in the
Legislature year or two ago. The Colonel
is indignat, because, he says, Governor Fora
ker is stealing his thunder on the soldier
question. Said the Colonel, between his
snorts of indignation:
II couldn't believe it, you know, when l
read that Foraker had claimed for the Re-
publicans the credit of passing the bill to
publish the roster of Ohio soldiers. Why,
introduced that bill myself, and in a Demo-
cratic Legislature. I introduced the bill in
the House. and it provided for the appropria-
ton of $4,000 to print the roster. It passed
that way and went over to the Senate, where
some Of the peanut statesmen got scared at
the big sum, and wanted it cnt down to S.
0OO. said all right, let US have $1,000, and
we got it, That's the way the work begun,
and now Joe Foraker is making speeches,
saying it was he who did it. If Irve DUNCAN
will let me, will take the stump and prove
that over two thirds of all the legislation in
this State in the interest of the soldiers has
been passed by the Democratic Legislatures. !"

~ The State of Ohio is now debtor to the

admlnistratlon.-BoWling Green Ne,cs.
Ifyou will point to any act of Republi-
can administration that Republican con-
vention fails to endorse, we may consent to
feel surprised at the incident you mention.
otherwise we shall insist that this endorse
ment was the usual matter-o'- fact movement
OF the political machine, and as an indication
OF merit is of no consequence. But that
Foraker hes been kept afoat by the excellent
management of the Democratic auditor of
State and advances by county treasurers is a
we'll known fact.-Bee. ..-..

~ Should Prince Ferdinand ever become
securely seated in the executive chair Of
Bulgaria, he will exercise limited authority
over territory of about $4,000 square miles,
or something more than onehalf the area Of
the State of Ohio. By the census of 1881,
Bulgaria contained almost 100000 people,
of whom, in round figures, 6S per cent. were
christians, mostly of the Greek church; 81
per cent. mohammedans, and the residue,
Israelites. The racial distinctions agree
closely with those of religious faith in respect
to numbers, there being 66 per cent. of the
population Bulgarians and 80 per cent.
Turks. Safa, the Bulgarian capital, contains
upwards of $4,000 people. Three other cities
contain more than 10000 but less than q, 600
souls, and there are nine places beside the
four referred to, with populations of 10000
and more each. Bulgaria is almost exclusive
ly an agricultural state, the annual export of
grain being about 1,5O0, 900 tons. Coal and
iron mines exist but are almost entirely
undeveloped. At the last census, there were
but 140 miles of railroad in this principality.

Take It Every Time.

This is good time to have word with
you on very important question, and that
is the support of your county paper. There
is bread and butterside remember to the
pomp and glory of the editorial chair, and no
man deserves more cordial, hearty and
substantial support than the editor of your
county paper. Week after week uncomplain-
ingly he sets forth the good points and
interests of your community; for every dol
lar given by others the paper gives ten, and
it is asking very little when we say, take it
and support it. for the day may come when
you will sadly need its mighty arm to protect
you, and its want may bring much SORROW
and disaster. So once for all, don't forget
the editor of your county paper.-Cleveland

tB The Toledo Commercial, stiff Republi-
can, says: ..... 'G.,
'fCleveland undoubtedly did not receive the
full Democratic vote in New York in 1884, It
is questionable whether the new Labor parties
would draw any more strength from him in
1888 than was done by other agents in 1884,
Otherwise, the Democtic party is probably
more united in his support than it was in
1884. Add to this the fact that the old
Stalwart Republican faction is renewing it's
yigor and aggressiveness and it will be seen
that New York is by no means a certain
quantity in the coming contest. Roscoe
Conkling announces himself absolutely and
lrrevocably retired from politics-but he is
making 100000 a year and is, on other
accounts, still prominent in the public eye,
while me Too" Platt has secured a lodg-
ment and position in political affairs in
New York where he claims greater power
and influence than any time since the palmy
days OF the Stalwarts. Even if these worthless
never get to be anything more than sore
heads, they may be in position while in
that condition to cuff like cross bear. So
that unless the Labor movement in New
York shall draw off more than enough
strength from Cleveland to make up what he
lacked of Democratic support in 1884, he may
still make very formidable stand for carry
ing the state and an election"

~ The most CHASTITY piece of irony in
modern political literature appears in the
platform adopted by the Pennsylvania Re-
publicans. It is declared to be part of the
policy ''of which Pennsylvania has been the
parent" to protect American workmen
"from the unequal and unjust competition
of imported contract and pauper labor"
This in the face of the fact that in the mining
regions of Pennsylvania a system of human
slavery is kept up by the very men largely
instrumental in the making of that platform,
and men and women are living in the most
abject and hopeless poverty, working for
beggarly wages, dragging out in starvation
and rags a miserable existence under the
beautiful system "of which Pennsylvania is
the parent" And then these robber barons
Of Pennsylvania meet in convention and
resolve that they are in favor of protecting
American workmen, even as the wolves
might meet and resolve that they were in
favor of protecting the lambs.

Carolina and many others of national reputa-
tion are on the list. Both candidates for
governor commence their stumping canvass
early in September, and will cover the State
before election. Foraker in the speeches he
is now making defends himself in an apolo-
getic and weak way from the charge he in
suited President Cleveland"

eT Foraker claims that 100000 more
have been raised in taxes this year than last.
As the State Treasury is empty the people
would like to know how the money has been
spent. The State Auditor has been obliged
to call on different counties for heavy ad-
vance. It is no wonder that Foraker wants
to increase the taxes on farm lands in order
to get the State of Ohio ont Of the debt con-
tracted by Republicans. There is not a
farmer in Henry county who can afford to
vote for Forakerfor second term, for II he

disgraceful proceedings, and the convention
was controlled by few persons. The ticket
